SIG Combibloc is Visy's licensor for aseptically-filled carton packaging and filling machines for beverages and food. The company is a leading global packaging organisation, supplying complete systems including both the packaging materials and the corresponding filling machines. Since 2015, SIG has been part of the Canadian-based private equity company, Onex Corporation. SIG Combibloc draws on the skills and experience of more than 5,000 employees in more than 40 countries. The SIG partnership has enabled Visy to better understand emerging global market trends in the beverage carton market. The recent prominence of globalisation has further highlighted the importance of understanding and building on customer relationships on a larger scale, as opposed to just locally. Key monthly reviews occur in which opportunities for sales, marketing and technical improvements are shared and acted upon.
